Welcome to the Ranch!
Welcome to the Ranch!
Rollin F Ranch is located only 1 mile south of Sebastopol in West Sonoma County. The ranch has been in our family for over 100 years and a few of our vines date back to 1906. Rich in history we offer private interpretive tours of our beautiful ranch. The trail is diversified offering views of the local mountain ranges, huge oak groves and woodlands. Wildlife seen along the trail include deer, fox, bobcats, skunks, raccoons and an occasional coyote. We also see birds of prey like the Red Tail Hawk and Marsh Hawk, migratory birds ie ducks and geese, and our local wild turkeys, quail, woodpeckers, robins and numerous song birds.
Rollin F Ranch property has been in our family for 4 generations. We have old vines still growing that were planted in 1906. We replanted our vineyard in 2000. It is dryland farmed on vertical cordon. We planted Pinot Noir and Petite Sirah in the old world style.
We also have old Gravenstein apple trees and wild blackberries. Vegetable and flower gardens are scattered around the ranch. Seasonal produce from the ranch will be available to our guests.
